TERZIS, Antonios  y  OLIVEIRA, Gustavo Presídio de. Sexual aversion under a Freudian perspective. Psicologia [online]. 2009, vol.23, n.1, pp.149-163. ISSN 0874-2049.  https://doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v23i1.321.

Aversion is not properly a Freudian concept but it comprises a number of affects and reactions, such as disgust and repugnance, which play a capital role in the subjective constitution of the civilized man. It also takes part in the repulsive reactions to sexual acts and objects as expressed in various forms. Aversion is not given as a natural trait but is culture dependent, constituting the initial stage, post castration complex, where barriers emerge against the perverse polymorphic infantile sexuality leading to cultural acquisitions through repression, sublimation, identification, etc. Aversion is an affective-bodily latency signal where the infantile sexuality is negated to open the way to subjective entrance of the young into the social and cultural life.

Palabras clave : psychoanalysis; infantile sexuality; aversion; helplessness.
